Incorporating the core principals upon which the practice was established, over the years DVH has been able to successfully expand its area of expertise to include multiple speciality insurance lines, including condominiums, home owner associations, premise liability, premise security, products liability, transportation liability/commercial auto, D&O and E&O, restaurant and builder’s risk.
